Deer that gored woman's eye will be removed from wildlife sanctuary

A deer named Vinny will be removed from a Tampa Bay-area wildlife sanctuary where it gored a woman in the eye.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Vinny will be removed from Survival Outreach Sanctuary in Spring Hill on Monday by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It isn't clear where the deer will be taken. Spring Hill is about 90 minutes outside of Orlando.

On Friday, the 75-year-old sister of the sanctuary's owner was attacked by the deer. Doctors removed the woman's right eye. She remains hospitalized.

A week before the deer attack, one of the sanctuary's lions dug out of its cage. Savannah never made it off the sanctuary's fenced-in property, but its escape attempt made national news.
